Christmas 2004

Christmas Morning

My brothers and sisters were all able to make it home for Christmas this year! I was very happy to be able to be with everyone once again. I think that my parents were especially happy with this.

Our normal Christmas tradition was a little different this year. Our usual Christmas parties, midnight mass, and midnight snacking were not on my to-do list this time. All I was concerned about was that everyone would be able to make it home safely and relax together. That wish was indeed granted, and I am very grateful for that. I would like to think that with Christmas gone now, I can sigh a sigh of relief. However, I know that there is still much to be done...
